Specifications
The Britannia is The Royal Mint's bullion coin, with a face value of 100 pounds. Since 2013 it has been struck in 999.9 fine gold weighing 31.10 g; earlier issues were 916.7/1000 and also contain one troy ounce of fine gold.
A good alternative
In Germany the Britannia is less common than the Krugerrand or Maple Leaf, which sometimes means a lower premium. It is VAT-free investment gold and dealers buy it readily. The smaller Sovereign (918.66 EUR) is the other major British gold coin.
Price per gram
Divide the price by 31.10 g and compare with a 1 oz bar at 3,791.23 EUR or the gram price of 121.30 EUR.
Selling a Britannia
Dealers currently pay about 3,625.54 EUR. Some smaller dealers may quote slightly less than for a Krugerrand or Maple Leaf because demand is lower, so compare at least two offers before you sell, especially for larger quantities.
Older 916.7 coins weigh slightly more but contain the same fine gold, so their gold value is identical. Ten coins currently cost about 38,095.75 EUR.
Dealers buy it readily throughout Germany.
